The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

לחיים חדשים (באנגלית: The Land of Promise) הוא סרט הסברה ציוני בן 57 דקות, אשר הופק בארץ ישראל המנדטורית בידי קרן היסוד בשנת 1935. הסרט, שהופק לצורך גיוס כספים עבור פעולות ההתיישבות בארץ, אחראי במידה רבה לקביעת הנוסחה הקולנועית שבה הוצג המפעל הציוני לאורך עשרות השנים שלאחר מכן.
